Is it possible to turn-off the display programmatically in android? I would like to have a button that when pressed switches the display off. Is it possible? If so, how?
You can try doing the following:
DevicePolicyManager mDPM = (DevicePolicyManager)getSystemService(Context.DEVICE_POLICY_SERVICE);
mDPM.lockNow();
That will lock your phone (same as pressing the power/lock button) and thus turn of the screen.
